When it comes to picking your college courses, you don't have to go in blind. It's never been easier to vet your teacher before taking their class, thanks to the internet. There are specific sites dedicated to ranking and rating college professors. Current and former students can write on the teacher's profile to let future students know all the important details. That includes info about the course, the teacher's personality, the types of lessons, and how hot the teacher is. Yes, really. If they're super gorgeous, they get assigned a little chili pepper emoji, which is probably a huge ego boost.

Not every student wants to take these rankings seriously, though, and for that matter, a lot of professors think these websites are silly. Apparently, some profs tell their students to write about inside jokes or to rate them as being really attractive to win a bet with other teachers. I expected to read some things from professors who were upset with what their students wrote, but the commenters in this thread took it in stride. I imagine as a professor, you have to have a thick skin, and you certainly won't be upset by a few students' opinions.
